Abstract

2-, 3-and 4-Bromoquinolines were converted to the corresponding lithium tri (quinolinyl) magnesates at− 10° C when exposed to Bu3MgLi in THF. The resulting organomagnesium derivatives were quenched with various electrophiles or involved in metal-catalyzed coupling reactions with heteroaryl halides to afford functionalized quinolines.
